winter carpet care

Water first to dissolve the salt. No need to put on more chemicals until most of the salt is out. Use your shop vac and a sprayer bottle with hot tap water. Spray area and suck it up immediately with the vac (pseudo-extraction). Then, apply some med strength APC and brush. Repeat the vac, rinse, then final vac as dry as you can.

I do the very same thing.

Another vote on the Weather Tech mats !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The weather tech aren't bad but there is no way they give 100% protection. Even with the tect mats the salt drips from the gas and brake pedals around the mats.. I hate the salt effect..

I agree. I have them in my truck and nothing gets onto my carpet. I duck hunt a lot and these mats are a God send to keep all of the ice mud and gravel under control.
